One of the best things in Football Manager is when the board decided to build a new stadium or expand your old stadium. And I think I'm not the only one who wants to see the whole stadium during reconstruction and after the completion. I finally know how to see the whole stadium during the match.

In September last year, I asked the Football Manager Twitter account if "is there some way how to see the whole stadium during the match?" They replied "That's a no. You generally only see snippets at the very beginning of the match."

BUT!

I found the trick how to see the stadium which means you can make screenshots or you can use it for video etc. It's very simple.

Guys from the FM Twitter account are right that you can see the stadium just only for a while at the start of the match. But we have to concentrate on the half-time.

When the 1st 45 minutes are finished you make half-time team talk or some tactics change. When you click Start the second half, there will be a short shot at the whole stadium from above. Be sure you have the Director camera angle in the settings.

Wait for the 2nd half to kick off and click on the pause button. Then you click to rewind back button and you can take time back to the half-time or before the kick-off time. And Director camera will now run through a slideshow of different camera angles with the view from above included.

You can also make it in previous matches. Open match, click to "Upload highlights - Preview Clip - stop it and click at the time before the half-time on the timeline - wait to the half-time whistle and pause game."

It will also show you a slideshow of different camera angles the same as during live match coverage.

This is the final part of my Football Manager 2015 career with Spartans FC. It was the best choice I could have done. I spent there 7270 days and received 106 awards. On the lines below, I look back on twenty years with Spartans FC.

I started this save as a 28 years-old manager with a regional reputation and very bad attributes as you can see on the screenshot. After 20 years in charge of Spartans, I have World Class reputation and “much better” attributes.

I was 7270 days in charge of Spartans FC. We played 1097 matches, we won 718 of them. We drew 204 matches and lost 175 games. We scored 2584 goals and conceded 1290 goals. We won 33 cup competitions and 13 league competitions. We were promoted four times.

We bought 101 players for a fee around 105M£ and we sold 61 players for a fee around 221M £. Highest fee spent was 11,75M £ for midfielder Juan Fernando Diosa in summer 2031. The highest fee received was 55M £ for Serbian midfielder Darko Popovic from Real Madrid.

There were a lot of famous players in the club during the past twenty years. Many interesting a quality footballers. Alisdair Sutherland, who could play on every position at the left side, has the most league appearances for club – 418 matches.

He is the oldest player who played in a competitive match. He played against Motherwell when he was 35 years and 265 days. He is the clubs oldest goalscorer as well.

Fastest goal? John Wilson scored against St. Mirren after 8 seconds. Another two records hold Graham Paterson. My favourite player of this save. He holds the record of most assists in single-season – 26 in 2023/2024. And this player scored 140 league goals for the club, no one scored more.

We finished this save with 335 matches without defeat in a row in Scottish Premier League!
